Spray for print on Epson photo luster

Premier Art Print Shield is what I use.  Wilhelm has tested it, as have I.
It improves lightfastness and dmax.  See www.ITSupplies.com at

 for a good price.  It's the lacquer based one I recommend.  It's cheaper by
the dozen.

One thing you need to remember though - these Epson micro-porous rc
papers need to outgas for at least 24 hours before spraying or coating
with anything. If you don't let these gasses escape the print will fog
up and ruin the print. This same effect will happen if you put prints
on these media behind glass before they cure. If you do this and let
them cure in a dry place, the Premier Art is perfect for them. It
actually enriches the blacks, stops the bronzing, and protects them in
every way.

To add to what John said, cellulose (paper) acts like a sponge for the
glycol.  So, have the surface of the RC print pressed against some plain
paper after it has thoroughly air dried.  This pulls out even more of the
offending chemicals.
